CAST UPON YOU

Deeply daily I am waiting for
Direction to move these feet
Longing searching needing
To be cast upon You

Awake listening breathing
Responding to the light
Where in every place my thoughts
Are cast upon You

Expression Calling knowing
There is more than what I see
Feeling what is crying out in me
I must be cast upon You

Growing up Letting go Surrender
The pain of weakness and being known
Living giving word is covenant
I am completely cast upon You.

STRONGER THAN DEATH

Do not worry Daughter
Sit back and rest in my arms
Listen to the voice of your Father
I know right where you are
The words that I have spoken
surely I will prove
Remember My love is stronger than death
I am holding you

Every one of your tears I have saved
I am with you, I am for you
Beside you, behind you, before you
I am within you always
Healing what needs to be healed
feeling what you feel
Do not forget ---
My love is stronger than death

In your weakness My strength is made perfect
My grace is sufficient even now
Though you sorrow and grieve for a moment
Your expectation is of Me, you will see, and I will not let you down
As you hope against hope
My word cannot fail
You long to see the promise of My love
in you My power prevail

Keep holding tight to Me
My words will carry you once more
I am all you ever needed
Set your gaze upon Me
Do not give way to fear
I am the way, the truth, and the life
I am right here
Let Me hold you closer still, My Love
My love is stronger than death.

YOUR THOUGHTS FOR MINE

Stand still for a moment
Stop what you are doing
Put everything thing down
Let your burdens fall to the ground

Exchange your thoughts for Mine
Let Me hide you for a while
Laugh and sing and share
It gives Me joy to see you smile

Look around and hear the sounds
As all creation sings its praise
Smell the fragrance of falling rain
Wild roses in bloom, budding just for you

Let Me show you trails of hidden treasures
The peace and joy of My good pleasure
Take a walk with me in the trees
Let me tell you what I see

Run with me by the riverside
Exchange your thoughts for mine
Slow down, step in
Let Me wash you from within

And be to you a shelter from the storms
Your strength to climb the mountains high
Your way of escape, your wings in flight
Rescuing arms of rest to hold you through the night

Exchange your thoughts for Mine
Let Me take you away
Put My hand on your head
and lead you as you pray.
